Things that happened today
Earlier, I was walking in the grocery store and was looking in the freezer section for some icecream my wife had asked for. I must have been concentrating because a lady pushed one of those huge "theme" carts that looks like a race car, right up next to me. I wasn't paying any attention, being absorbed by the selection in the window, and I didn't see the little girl that was inside the cart, hunched down.
Well, she popped up and said, "HI!!" Let me tell you, I jumped. And she must have known she startled me, because the expression on her face changed and she sheepily asked, "Are you ok??"
I was so stunned, all I could do is say, "Im not supposed to talk to strangers" and I kind of walked slowly away. I needed to regroup... :p
